A lot of the built in WM 6.5 applications do not have exe files. To add those applications you need to use the menu choice that allows you to add an application based on its shortcut. Do that and it will work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mondokkia:
I've been searching through the entire Windows directory but didn't pick anything remotely connected to that shortcut. How would I find that out?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] witschey:
I tried adding it myself just now, and I can't do it either. There doesn't seem to be any shortcuts visible through the CLauncher menu; and even with Resco Explorer I can't find any items inside of Settings.

Therefore I am afraid that I can't help you. Perhaps somebody else knows the 'trick'.

"List Start Menu" Alternative to CLauncher. MUCH easier to update.

"List Start Menu" Alternative to CLauncher. MUCH easier to update.

Gentlemen,

As you know I was very excited about CLauncher, and even created 3 additional plugins to cope with the large number of programs that I have on my Windows Mobile Pocket PC.

However, a few days ago I stumbled upon an alternative to CLauncher which for my personal taste is better because it uses less RAM, doesn't require the use of icon files, doesn't require any updating, makes ALL your programs available, etc.

The solution is called "List Start Menu" and it is basically a replacement the 'honey comb' start menu of WM 6.5

The HoneyComb start menu is pretty, but it is not very easy to operate. Anyway, I spent a full day fixing the 'List Start Menu' so that it supported landscape mode (previously only portrait mode was supported), and I hereby invite you to check it out. Perhaps it is also a better solution to you.

You can read the whole post and download the installation cab file here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4351597&postcount=47

Screen shows shown below.

The solution I put together is for QVGA devices (like the ATT Tilt / Kaiser). However I in the above post I am providing you a link to a tool that will allow you to convert the CPR file into any resolution with just the click of a mouse!

Enjoy!

Is there any way to export/save the way i have my cLauncher? i flash often and one of the things that takes time is sitting and adding all the programs/names/icons to the cLauncher..

or if theres any tool to help with this, also appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] witschey:
From what I know there is no option to export the settings. It may be possible to do that through the export of registry keys and the like; but since the CLauncher program doesn't have a settings export feature it is a time consuming (and risky) process.

The time consuming setup and update process are just a couple of the reasons that I gave up on CLauncher, and I am now using the List Start Menu which you find in post 175.

If you want to keep CLauncher the only suggestion that I can make is to use spb Backup before a ROM update and to restore your PPC afterwards using that backup. However spb Backup restoration is only guaranteed to work with the same version of ROM. If you switch from one ROM to the other, the results become unpredictable. That's not to say that it won't work if you switch from one ROM to the other...but it is not guaranteed. Some things may work, some may not...or everything may work perfectly. It depends on whether the registry and system files changed from one version to the other...or not.

This appears to be just some internal login protection software that happened to be built into your ROM. The 6.5 timebomb doesn't wipe your SD card.

most cooks shouldn't even have this in their roms as most of the sources have the TB removed.

Can't really see MS formatting anyones SD cards can you?

the reason it's in the 6.5 roms (from MS builds at least) is that they are all demo or test versions. Same as WIN7 RC will stop working properly in March 2010

Not sure if this is relevant, but I used to get this error when I had the old crappy ROM that Orange supplied. It always happened if I loaded on some music (not programs) where the artist name was the same as the album name e.g. Santogold by Santogold. Sounds crazy I know - but I couldn't proceed until I removed the offending album. Are you on the original ROM that came with your phone? Did you add any music files recently?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] grahamkdt:

The most obvious question is have you done a hard-reset? Did you hard-reset immediately after installing the ROM? If not, that's probably the issue ;)

[HTC Vox] deuse:
Hi all

My D pad has come off and I am just about to get a new keypad

for the front of the phone.

I have read the manual but its not very detailed about the keypad.

I have been told I can lift the keypad up at the front and pull it off

then the one I get will be sticky backed and I just have to put it back on

ion the right place but I am not sure about this.

so any help would be great :D

thanks for your time
[HTC Vox] tobbbie:
Don't mess around with the keyboard assembly on the Vox. Mostly you make things worse. The keyboard consist of 3 layers and all are glued on the other only. So if one thing gets off, just re-glue it back. The Layers are:

1.) bottom: semi-flexible PBA, glued to the housing - contains also the sealed pushpads for the keys

2.) middle: rubber middle layer, glued to the PBA on dedicated edges to leave the room for the keys to press

3.) keys: one-by-one glued ot the rubber layer, so normally 2+3 is just one layer and it cannot easily be separated. If a key falls off, take a little super-glue and put it back where it should be.
[HTC Vox] deuse:
Thanks for your answer :)

but I lost the D pad keys when they come off,

I have now got the new keypad and it looks like peel off the back paper

then it will stick to the board that plugs into the mother board.

but I am not trying to do it yet, I am waiting on HTC to email me back.
[HTC Vox] tobbbie:
Well, than you have to remove the old Keypad+rubber layer. This is a lilttle destructive though as the sticky glue will not allow you to easily peel it off. As you see with the new keypad, there are little "noses" at several places (top: left + right & at the D-Pad and bottom: left + right). To peel it off, start at the side in the middle (no "noses" there) and work through the rest of the pad. After removal, clean the PBA carefully (eg. lighter-fuel) so that no glue remains and it is dry. This is very hard - I am not sure if you can remove the texture part of the glue on the PBA at all, I could not.

For re-assembly the tricky part is to get the pad flat and aligned to all edges BEFORE it fully sticks to the PBA. If it is not aligned it looks horrible, if it is not flat, you may end up with a hump in the middle - also horrible.

I think you have to start at top, insert noses first and when the top is aligned and fixed work the rest down, but take care about the bottom noses. You need to fit them in first by bending the pad up in the middle, inserting the noses (but not have it glued there), making it flat again (still not sticky) and then roll it downwards to fully stick. If the glue is very stick (which I hope) you have only one try. You may want to experiment with the removed one first. So have fun doing it...

BTW: Where die you buy it and how much you paid?
[HTC Vox] deuse:
Thanks mate for the nfo.

I think Sunrise is further up the road if my memory serves me right. Much better off ordering by mail and getting it sent over for about 340 pounds.

I live in NYC so only hotel address in London and that wouldnt work (I checked).

Tottenham court Road used to be quite competitive, but in the last couple of years I have never had prices matched to the cheapest on the internet, obviously because of their overheads. They are great if you need something urgently and don't mind paying, but they no longer match or better other stores prices, particularly internet stores.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] custardo01:
My own experience is that the cheaper internet stores never have them in stock (and don't always tell you that on the site) whereas supply in TCT Rd is usually plentiful.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fantedon:
Having just ventured forth, the big advantage of TC Rd to me coming from NYC on a short visit to London wasn't the price but the chance to handle the D2 physically and check it out. Very useful--I did and compared it to my HD and decided against but others may arrive at a different conclusion. As far as price goes, think the internet is still a better bet and seems to work well from those who have used it according to reports on other threads.

purchased from Handtec (http://www.handtec.co.uk)

356.89 including shipping.

The only thing I was pretty unhappy about was that they shipped it using a fed ex envelope, and not a box. When I opened the envelope, things were bad enough to have me worried the device was borked. luckily enough everything is fine. I would have happily paid $10 more to have it shipped in a box.

Anyways, this was the cheapest i found online.:)

Hello all,

I'm currently sat with my VF-UK HTC Magic and want to start pulling this thing apart a bit if it'll be of use to the more experienced on here, although I'm not 100% where to start.

Below is a breakdown of where I am at the moment, can people please post with further suggestions and what files/dumps from the device you'd like to see etc.

With adb loaded into root mode: (adb root)

sqlite_stmt_journals
cache
sdcard
etc
system
sys
sbin
proc
logo.rle
init.sapphire.rc
init.rc
init.goldfish.rc
init
default.prop
data
root
dev

I am in the process to pulling off these files to package up for others etc. however not having a great deal of experience I'm looking for some pointers as to which bits to pull off and upload?

I'm also in the process to playing with SQLite. Which I've successfully got into but my SQl experience is based on MS SQL so again getting my head around this with a view to locating and extracting the operator setting files etc.

Any tips, requests to try on the device (within reason) etc. please post

Why not? This is an open source device, only the SIM belongs to VF. As I am not decompiling the SIM or even the radio stack at this point everything I'm accessing is within my rights - at least this is my grasp of the licensing side. The Linux kernel is obviously open source and Android itself is released using the Apache License.

"Like any free-software license, the Apache License allows the user of the software the freedom to use the software for any purpose, to distribute it, to modify it, and to distribute modified versions of the software."

So as far as my understanding goes I'm not contravening any licensing or contract, if anyone can provide evidence otherwise then please post and I’ll stand corrected.

And who cares about this? It's my phone, so I can even throw it out of the window, if I want.

@jbelman

How did you get the root rights? If I run adb root, I get an error message, that the adbd daemon cannot run with root rights in production builds.

I did some research with adb shell before.

I haven't found any hole I could use to get root rights. Your shell runs with user and group "shell". All the data on the NAND-Flash (Apps and so on) are saved with the user and group "system" and you are not even allowed to enter this directory with another user.

The SD-Card is mounted nosuid and noexec. So we can't execute a local root exploit or something like this from here.

Breaking out of the Java VM is also not possible, because every Application runs with an own user. What would perhaps be possible is exploiting the VM (if there is a security vulnerability in it) and executing a local root exploit (if there is any available for this kernel) from there.

I'm currently waiting for the first update Vodafone delivers. I will sniff the download source of it and save it on my computer to have a backup if anything goes wrong when I'm playing with other firmware versions. I don't want to brick my phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jbelman:
@ Matschkeks1988

Are you using 1.1 or 1.5 SDK? I used 1.5.

I'm also a bit loath to really screw around until I've got a stable replacement image etc. should I brick it. Fingers crossed we can grab using update like you suggest.

By the way if anyone has any issues with adb giving: error: more than one device and emulator (I got this after using pull command). Disconnect your device and run: adb kill-server. This will remove all the devices, plug back in and away you go again.
